If your talking about the scott with waffle pattern then they are known to give blisters. The spider grips seem to be good but I use full diamond renthals.

i hate to be the bear of bad news but my uncle just put spyder grips on his bike and he gets blisters like the rest of them. i dont think there is a way to not get them at all.:confused:

I use my stock grips with no gloves (except during winter) and I never really have a problem with blisters. My hands may be a little raw but I've never had a blister before...?

i ride with fox dirt paw gloves with oury grips on my bike, ride for hours and never get bliters. maybe try switcing to a softer grip like oury, or the spiders like the other guys said and see what happens.

same here, and I don't get many blisters. I also wear mechanics gloves, probably not the best but they work.

I hear ya! Ive never had a blister yet.
For real though, I bet you are gripping the bars too tight and/or twisting on the grips alot.
